I'll try that, though this isn't for a man page necessarily.
This was an example situation as I use tables for other purposes as
well. I usually know the columns and formatting but have unknown row-counts.
I see now, that for most purposes, macros involving preprocessors should
be avoided. I suppose one alternative would be to use special tags
within comments to be targeted with sed/perl/tt/m4 later.
Thanks ~
